A Surprise WSJ Visit From a ‘Game of Thrones’ Star

Some “Game of Thrones” fans got a surprise—but not the nasty Red Wedding kind of a surprise—when cast member John Bradley walked in on their conversation about the HBO series.

On Tuesday, we invited a handful of people to WSJ headquarters to discuss “GoT” fandom and their expectations for the fourth season, starting April 6.

Of course, after our surprise guest arrived, the discussion shifted to his character, the bookish and increasingly heroic Samwell Tarly, and his experiences with the novels, the TV series and the avid “GoT” audience.
